Working good on my STFM...... I think there is some irony in this somewhere with the not working on the H4 :lol: :roll:

Left it on all night with ultrasatan plugged in. GB6 outputs the lopo count and time into a text file every loop (what a awesome feature! :lol: ) So US gets tested the entire time writing to it...

So its basically been turned on for 24H pretty much now.

I always wished it would put the current loop number up in the menubar, so if you're looking at live output, you don't have to wait for the end of a loop to know how far it's gotten.

I have had the same thought in the past actually :) Though its why the screen flashes red when it displays the loop count to get my attention ;)

just tried updating the firmware with version 3/3 and my H4 doesn't boot at all.

@PhilC - try it with a 32MHz osc and see what happens :)

Yeah just remembered what you said in the email. It boots with the 32mhz oscillator.

Still bombs with a floppy in at boot though, or when I try to access a disk at the desktop.

It seems to get stuck at busy bee for longer than it should when loading the desktop

Just re read @Icky email from the other day and his H4 works at 32mhz and boots but mine crashes on floppy access.

U had a bad DMA problem exactly like this on one of my Megas, so I think its time to swap a few parts out and see if that improves matters.

Will report back later.

Have no idea why it won't work for your guys. Probably have to wait until I get my H4 to look into it. Hardly had any issues here, but TOS206 does seem to need a few resests on the reset switch to boot, but i've not really looked into that issue yet, might be just iffy reset on my board.
